Being called out of nowhere, Xie Ling looked up in surprise, and saw the girl looking at her with a smile, looking sweet and soft, as if she really just wanted to get to know her.
If you ignore the fleeting jealousy in your eyes after seeing her face.
There was some interest in Xie Ling's eyes.
Admire yourself?
The original owner never left the house. Although she was beautiful, she had never appeared at any banquet for noble ladies in the capital. She lied so eloquently.
Xie Ling immediately defined her in her mind.
A white lotus that is slightly higher in rank than Liu Rouhan.
Gu Shiyu came over, held Xie Ling's hand, and said in a light voice, "Cousin Gu Wei is handsome and elegant, and sister-in-law is also so beautiful, like a fairy in a painting, charming and elegant, she doesn't look like a concubine's daughter, but like a legitimate daughter."
He secretly backstabbed Xie Ling for being a concubine's daughter and having an evil appearance.
But the tone is so innocent that it is hard to find any fault with it.
Pei's eyes suddenly turned gloomy as she looked Gu Shiyu up and down.
Xie Ling curled her red lips lightly, her eyes curved with a smile, "Miss Shi Yu is really gentle, polite and talkative, and your mother..."
At this point, Xie Ling's eyes flickered, "You really don't look like your mother at all."
Xie Ling's words were lingering and graceful, and everyone present naturally knew what she meant.
Gu Shiyu gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and didn't speak.
Xie Ling added: "She doesn't look like a girl who was not raised by a father at all. She looks just like a girl who was raised by a father."
Xie Ling was happy in her heart. Are you trying to compete with me in being sarcastic?
Seeing that Xie Ling was not bullied, Pei responded fluently and naturally with a smile in her eyes.
Gu Shiyu's long eyelashes fluttered constantly, and it was obvious that she was extremely angry.
Gu's second daughter-in-law walked over angrily, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Gu Shiyu grabbed her wrist.
When Gu Shiyu raised his eyes again, he looked gentle again.
She said softly: "Although Shi Yu has no father, he has three uncles who have taught him how to behave since he was a child. I remember that when cousin Gu Wei was not sick, he often taught Shi Yu some truths. I don't know when cousin Gu Wei will wake up."
At this point, Gu Shiyu's eyelashes became wet. He took out a small handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, then looked around, "Where's cousin Gu Wei?"
Gu Li said quickly: "Second brother is over there."
Gu Shiyu looked in the direction of Gu Li's hand and felt even sadder. Just as she was about to go over to see Gu Wei, Xie Ling stretched out her hand to block her way.
Xie Ling said calmly: "Miss Shi Yu, your cousin Gu Wei is not wearing any clothes."
When Gu Shiyu glanced just now, she clearly saw that Gu Wei was well dressed, and Xie Ling obviously didn't want her to get close to Gu Wei.
But Xie Ling had already said so, and if she continued to pester him to watch it, it would be shameless.
Gu Shiyu swallowed the anger in his chest and said, "That's really unfortunate. I'll come to see my cousin another day."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of officials beating drums and gongs could be heard outside the inn.
"Let's get going. Take a break and get organized. Let's get going!"
All the people from the Gu family's side branches dispersed.
Xie Ling looked at Gu Shiyu's back in confusion.
What exactly is this woman's purpose?
A quarter of an hour later, all the prisoners gathered outside the inn.
The officers were counting the number of people one by one.
A fat official looked at the dozen carriages lined up in a row and said sternly, "There are so many carriages. Do you think you are going to Jiangnan for a trip? Only four families are allowed to keep the carriages. Sell all the others. If you can't sell them, throw them away!"
Leader Shen glanced around with his eagle eyes and pointed at four people, "The four of you can stay, the others, walk honestly!"
The people he was referring to were Xie Ling, Gu Sanlang from the Gu family's side branch, and two other families, all of whom had given him benefits.
Xie Ling secretly thought that it was fortunate that her uncle was a good person and gave Leader Shen a gold ingot.
After a burst of wailing, an official beside Leader Shen came out to play the good cop, "It's not that we don't sympathize with you, it's just that you are here to be exiled, not to play.
If the person in the capital knew that you were so leisurely, would you be able to get away with it? Besides, there are robbers all over the road, so many carriages are just sitting ducks, right? "
A man jumped out and said indignantly: "Then why can the four of them? We bought so many things and put them on the carriage, Leader Shen, what do you say we should do?"
Leader Shen pointed at Xie Ling, "There is a pregnant woman in their family, there are two elderly people in that family over there, and there are so many children in this family..."
Anyway, he has reasons for what he says.
The prisoners also realized that Leader Shen favored their four families.
Looking at the excited prisoners, Leader Shen sighed, "Forget it, I'll give you half a minute to buy a cart. You will set off on time in half a minute. Those who don't arrive will be considered to have escaped."
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the owner of the horse market happened to be next door and brought dozens of carts.
The prisoners rushed over to sell their carriages and buy carts.
Xie Ling deeply suspected that Leader Shen and the horse market owner were in collusion, and he would get a few points of commission for every cart sold.
The people in the second house were so angry that their faces twisted. Zhang even sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying, "What a scoundrel! Our carriage cost a total of 500 li of silver, but we could only buy a cart. That cart is just a few broken wooden boards. Is it worth 20 taels of silver?"
The horse market owner snorted, "If you think it's too expensive, don't buy it! After leaving Baishui Town, the next town is 500 miles away. If you think you can get there before you die of exhaustion, don't buy it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those families who were originally hesitant all made up their minds to buy the carts.
